Goncalves, M., Martinho, P. e Guedes Soares, C. (2014), “Assessment of wave energy in the canary islands”, Renewable Energy, Vol. 68, pp.774-784

This paper presents a numerical study of the wave energy distribution around the Archipelago of the Canary Islands, as part of an European project, aiming to characterize the wave energy in the Atlantic coast of Europe. For this study the generation model, WAVEWATCH III is used to generate waves for the entire North Atlantic basin and the transformation model, SWAN, is used to evaluate the waves in the Canary Islands. The model results are validated with measured data from the Gran Canaria buoy, from Puertos del Estado, over a three-year period between 2001 and 2003, and satellite data for the period of 2003. The computed results show a good agreement with data from buoys and satellites. Wave energy resource is evaluated and characterize in terms of sea states.
